Georgian FM: EU report unlikely to be positive, may overlook Georgian progress

Georgian Foreign Minister Maka Botchorishvili on Monday said biased assessments on Georgia that had often been heard from the European Union might also be reflected in the European Commission's upcoming report.

“Recently, we have observed that the European Union has been making less objective assessments on Georgia. The assessments are mostly biased. It is unlikely that this report will be positive towards Georgia and reflect the significant progress that Georgia has made”, Botchorisvili said.

“We can already assume this, based on the statements made and steps taken by the European Union throughout the year. However, let's wait for the report itself and then we will see how objectively it will reflect Georgia's progress, the steps that Georgia has taken, the development that has taken place in Georgia over the past year; which is reflected in various ratings, various figures, economic growth and development. However, let's see how this will be reflected in the report of the European Union”, she concluded.
